Of course, it is unlikely that anyone can master all the subtleties and nuances of such a multifaceted “science” as cooking.
At the same time, Yulia Arkhipova, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, is sure that it is still worth taking note of some advice from experienced cooks - they will allow you to avoid mistakes in the kitchen and delight your family with truly exquisite dishes.
Make pizza in 10 minutes
To prepare an Italian dish with a delicious crispy crust in the shortest time, it is enough to follow one simple rule: the temperature in the oven should be as high as your equipment allows. Preheat the oven for at least half an hour, and spend no more than 10 minutes baking the pizza.
Make the rice fluffy
Round rice often turns into mush when cooked, but you can achieve a crumbly result if you first fry raw rice in a frying pan with butter and vegetable oil. When it stops being transparent, pour in some water - your goal is to cover the rice with liquid by 2-3 cm. Cook the cereal on low heat for about 15 minutes. As a result, each grain will be covered with an oil film and will not stick together with others.
Bake chicken properly
Baked chicken is considered a simple dish, suitable for family dinners and festive tables, but it often happens that the bird is cooked unevenly. The reason is that the breast reaches the state of readiness faster than the legs. To solve this problem, you can use one of two methods: put a bag of ice on the breast half an hour before sending the chicken to the oven or place the carcass on a baking sheet with the back up, and after 45 minutes turn it over and continue cooking in a different position.
Use oil of different temperatures
The temperature of the oil varies depending on what kind of dishes you are preparing. For example, for shortcrust pastry and quiche lorraine with filling, the oil should be cold or even frozen, and for sweet buns, you need to take it out of the refrigerator in advance and wait until it warms up to room temperature.
Cook a delicious broth
Because salt is famous for its ability to draw out the flavor of meat, to get a rich broth from beef, pork or chicken, you need to salt the water at the very beginning, when it just starts to boil. Another important point is the temperature of the water: it should be cold when you add the meat to the pot.
